Low Profile

Low Profile Load Cells symmetrically measure stresses in precision machined elements using shear rosette, linear or diaphragm strain gages. This optimization, coupled with their relatively small size, makes them well-suited to force measurements and weighing applications. Rated capacities range from 50 lbs. (23kg) to 500,000 lbs. (227 tonnes). Sometimes referred to as Force Transducers, Pancake, Canister and Donut Load Cells, they are available in tension or compression measurement modes, or in tension/compression (universal) measurement versions. The advantage of the Low-Profile Load Cells are their relatively small size and lower cost, particularly in the miniature PA and PC Series.
